Breakfast: J.J. Watt, O'Brien Skype with astronaut

Astronaut Terry Virts chatted from space with J.J. Watt and head coach Bill O’Brien earlier this year. Virts talked about his Skype conversation when he attended the Texans Wednesday training camp practice.

"I said, ‘Hey J.J., I heard you just set some record doing a vertical leap, watch this' and jumped up. He was laughing," Virts said. "Of course, those days are long gone now that I’m back in gravity.”

Virts landed back on Earth just last month after his NASA space exploration which lasted 200 days. Head coach Bill O’Brien was fascinated by seeing first-hand the astronaut’s experience.
